Aluminium housing EST

Compact aluminium enclosure for electronic assemblies and handheld devices

The small aluminium enclosures of the EST series are available in 8 different sizes with external heights from 15 to 40 mm and external widths from 41 to 130 mm. In combination with graded standard lengths from 50 to 210 mm, this results in a wide range of compact enclosure formats for small control, evaluation or interface electronics.

Slots for printed circuit boards are provided along the longitudinal sides. As standard, the enclosure types have two slots and accommodate PCBs with a thickness of up to 1.9 mm. This allows the PCBs to be inserted securely and positioned precisely inside the enclosure. Type 4095 features four slots, enabling additional assembly and mounting variants.

The enclosures consist of two rounded half-shells that are joined together by screwing the ends. The profiles are made of aluminium and are available with a natural or black anodized finish. The anodized surface provides corrosion protection and ensures a robust, high-quality appearance. Depending on the version, the enclosures are supplied as a kit with end plates made of ABS (type EST1) or aluminium (type EST1A), including the appropriate self-tapping screws.

Thanks to the combination of a robust aluminium profile, variable lengths and a choice of plastic or aluminium end plates, the EST series is particularly suitable for small electronic modules, portable handheld devices, control units or sensor and interface boxes where a compact, visually appealing and mechanically stable enclosure is required.
